interior portion of the center, known as the "inner core" is thought to be solid iron. Answer 2: The main evidence for the structure of the Earth comes from studying waves generated during an earthquake. When stress builds up and rocks at depth break, then elastic waves, just like sound waves are sent from the point of rupture. These waves speed out and move through the earth. When we put seismometers…
GRAVITATIONAL WAVES, HOW CLOSE ARE WE? PHSCS 222 Collective Paper November 23, 1999 #123 #272 #666 #895 The Detection of Gravitational Waves, How Close Are We? Since the realization that the general theory of relativity predicts gravitational waves, there have been attempts to actually detect these waves. Indirect observations have been made that support their existence but no direct measurement. This paper gives a brief explanation of gravitational waves and discusses the…
An earthquake is when the ground shakes uncontrollably causing damage to buildings, roads and housing structures. This happens when two pieces of earth slip over one another. The area where this slip occurs is called a fault line. The area under the surface of the earth where the earthquake takes place is called the hypocenter, and the area above this place is called the epicenter. In some cases a seismic tremor has foreshocks. These are littler quakes that happen in the same place as the…
So it makes sense to harness the very essence of energy and use it as an alternative energy source, and wave generators aim to do just that. Like all generators, a wave generator works by converting mechanical energy into electrical energy via electromagnetic induction. In 1831 Michael Faraday discovered that moving a wire through a magnetic field induces a voltage in the wire that is…
Today, my topic is about Korean drama. Korean drama is very popular in the world, especially in Asia. l am very interested in this phenomenon. According to my research, it can be divided into three types------middle-aged women, teenagers and sociologists. The first type is middle-aged women. Middle-aged women like to watch Korean drama. We should analyze the common characteristics in this age. Middle-aged women’s ages are between 35 to 55, and this type can continue to be divided into two kinds…
“We’re going to have to go through the back, because if a nigga sees you, they’re going to attack you.” I was quiet, my hands were beginning to sweat, and I think I was in need of the bathroom to shit. Once we got to the strip club, my eyes went wild seeing the lights flicker crazy through the floor. Weed and alcohol slaps my nose as they enter my nose making me cringe. Sky seen this. “Don’t worry you’ll get use to the smell after a while.” She grabs my hand interlocking with mine and pulls me…
There has been evidence that scientists have found along the Alaska Peninsula that might be similar to the earthquake that happened in Japan of 2011 that caused severe damage. There were plate alignments found underwater that resembled the earthquake and tsunami that happened in Japan. Researchers found that close to the plates surfaces were conditions that could trigger an earthquake and build a destructive tsunami. Researchers are able to look into how Alaska might be prone to the damage that…
Product Acorns is an automated micro-investing application that allows clients to round up their purchases to the nearest dollar. The extra change is invested by the company. When a person signs up, it generally costs $1 a month for an account that generates less than $5,000. According to Acorns’ website “You just link a debit or credit card and after every use Acorns tracks the spare change from the transaction and makes it available for you to invest” (What is Acorns?, n.d.). To create an…
What is minimal wave? What "In comparison to mainstream synthpop, the minimal wave sound is sparse, amateurish, stripped down and lo-fi, using analog synthesizers, drum machines and pre-MIDI electronics. The singing is unconventional, with detached and cold vocals. " Minimal wave was coined as a genre name in retrospect. It makes reference to the most electronic and minimal forms of New Wave, Coldwave, Synthpop and Post-Punk. In its most purely electronic and synth-driven form, it is called…
community. This theme became apparent near the end of the novel when all the women participating in the Boatwrights religion back Lily up at the front door when T. Ray demands to take her home. Sue Monk Kidd writes, “I remember the sight of them standing there waiting. All these women, all this love, waiting” (Kidd 299). The women provide the motherly figure that Lily was too young to experience and protect Lily from the outside world 's patriarchal mindset. Through the feminist lens, finding…
